Since spring is obviously on it's way, (yay!) I've got to get as much milage out of the soup recipes as possible! This requires a little pre-preparation with the wild rice, but the rest is pretty simple.
8 slices bacon--cooked, set aside, save drippings
3 Tbsp. drippings from bacon
3 Tbsp. butter
1 1/2 medium onions, chopped
2 large carrots, coarsely grated
1 cup celery, chopped
3 cans low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups cream
5 Tbsp. flour
1 cup wild rice
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 cups cooked chicken--roasted is yummiest
1 Tbsp. chicken base--not bouillon, Better Than Bouillon from Macey's is good
Cook wild rice in 3 cups of water until done, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
Cook bacon until crisp. Chop, set aside. Save drippings.
Put drippings and butter in 8 quart sauce pot. Saute celery, onions, & carrot for 5 minutes.
Stir in flour, salt, & pepper. Stir until flour thickens. Slowly add chicken broth.
Add cooked rice & heat to boiling. Lower heat, cover, & let simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add cream, chicken base. Taste. Adjust salt if needed. Add chicken and chopped-up bacon.
This is pretty hearty--if you'd like it thinned down at all, add 1 cup milk and 1 tsp. additional chicken base.
